HUGO MARI

It's been a busy few years for Hugo Mari (FKA Books). Steadily building his profile with a number of expertly produced 12"'s on XVI and Omena Records (remixed by Laurence Guy) he has also taken the helm of the hotly tipped High Praise Edits series - building a reputation as a fearsome DJ along the way. Having showcased his versatility by remixing tracks by the likes of Dele Sosimi and Grime Legend Trim, as well as teaming up with rising vocalist Qendresa for the cult classic 'Shades On' mixtape, the North London based producer now prepares to unleash his biggest release yet via the infamous Heist Recordings.

With an uncompromisngly groovy approach to production and an unbeatable ear for sampling, Hugo's relentlessly soulful productions have turned the heads of Moodymann, The Black Madonna, Gilles Peterson, Sassy J, Seven Davis Jr, Alexander Nut and more.
